took place. What caused the pow

Curious Origin of the Phrase.
One often hears in response to
query as to the whereabouts OF a
man:

This phrase had its origin in Vir-

member of fire company became
enamored of a married lady, and
she reciprocated the jakie's atten-

house became a public scandal.
The whole town knew of the liason

One day the adjoining house
caught fire. 1t was but step from
one roof TO the other. The bell
sounded the alarm, and in few
seconds the two houses, both threat
ened, were surrounded with a mob
of people.
The guilty fire jakey had fingered
too long, and as he peeped through
the closed curtains of the darkened
room he saw that the three O'Clock
shift was off, and the husband was
rushing up the street to save his
threatened property.
But the man was equal to the
emergency. Grabbing pail filled
with water he carried it through the
side window out on the roof below
in his shirt sleeves, and shouted:
s'This way, boys; look lively,
now" and then clearing the inter-
vening space at a bound he dashed
the water on the blazing roof and
shouted at the top oil his lungs:
"First water for Fours."

After the fire the husband thanked
him feelingly for saving his build

said

"You bet was there, Bill" was
the reply, "when I can help a
